10 NATION WARNED MEATLESS DAYS MAY BE RESUMED Unless Economy Is Rigidly Practiced Food Administra tion Will Take Action Washington. D. C.. May 3.—The i* Food Administration sounds the warning that unless there is a more fy rigid economy In the domestic con f sumption of meat It may be neces sary to restore meatless days to the p- menu. According to Food Administration officials, the seasonal decline in the ket is now in progress. This flow is expected to gradually decline dur ing the next few months, and it is desired that the domestic consump tion be curtailed in order to strike u balance. The shipments abroad to the American forces in France and to the allies are growing steadily larger and have now reached 75,000,000 m pounds of meat and meat products P per week. This is in sharp contrast to the pre-war normal exports of less than l r >,000,000 pounds of meat. Allies Reduce Consumption Even with these heavy shipments, the allies have found It necessary to reduce the consumption of all kinds of meats and poultry to an average of one and one-fourth pounds per week per person. The reduction in -■meat situation was especially mark ed in France, where the civil popula tion is not only limited to three meatless days each week, but has . only a scanty bread ration. Meat less days were resorted to in France because it was not desired to ab . sorb more ships for meat shipments from the UiTited States at a time when the ships are badly needed to move troops. The per capita meat consumption In the United States is about three and one-fourth pounds per week and this gives latitude for a general re duction without any hardship being worked on any class. The Food Administration hopes to avoid meatless days, and urges that the civil population aid by in creasing the use of meat substitutes.
